I've caught the flu and this fever is making me feel so weak and miserable. It's been a couple of days now and it's not going down much. What can I do to reduce this flu fever quickly and get some relief?

My mother always tells me to drink warm rasam with lots of black pepper to fight the flu. But honestly, I always consult our family doctor first for proper antiviral or fever medicine, as flu can make you very weak.

When my kids get the flu, I make sure they get absolute bed rest. I give them simple warm soups and use a steam inhaler to clear their congestion, which also helps ease the fever headache. Please monitor their temperature closely.

I was reading that flu fever is viral, so antibiotics won't work on it at all. The best way is to let the virus run its course while resting, keeping your body temperature down with paracetamol, and drinking lots of fluids.

Flu fever will easily knock you out for 3-4 days, so don't try to work from home. Take complete rest, isolate yourself so others don't get sick, and consult a doctor online to get the right prescription immediately.

I have tried everything from ginger-tulsi kadha to hot steam for flu. While these give wonderful temporary relief to your throat and nose, you must rest and let the fever break naturally. Don't rush back to heavy work too soon.
